The Luna's Hidden Destiny
The Luna’s Hidden Destiny – Chapter 81

(Rowan 1 hour earlier)

I was getting ready in the suite down the hall from where my Mila was. I made sure to continue and check in with Ian to have eyes on her at all times…I didn’t give a f**k about tradition but my mom and dad insisted..they wanted us to experience a true ceremony since it would be our only one. My grandfather on my dad’s side, Felix Scott, had just arrived and boy did he know how to make an entrance…Let’s just say he has always been one full of surprises. Like the one time, he showed up to dinner with not one, but two dates. My mom wasn’t too thrilled about that one.

He wasn’t only known as a silver fox just for his hair color..it also had to do with his reputation with the ladies. He was a good-looking guy for being in his seventies…I give him that. But the fact that he drove up on a Harley in a full-blown tuxedo should explain things enough. It was nice to see him though, he travels the country most of the time so it isn’t often he is able to join our family events. After my grandma passed, he made it a point to keep himself busy and gave up the pack life. He is still a part of our pack, but obviously doesn’t have a full-time residency here. My dad being his only son didn’t fully approve but my Grandpa wasn’t one to take no for an answer. He did what he wanted when he wanted, no one could tell him otherwise.

“So kiddo, when do I get to meet this goddess of yours.” He said while nudging me and wiggling his eyebrows. I swear..my grandad looked like he just walked off of a magazine shoot or something. He definitely had style..it was hard to believe my dad was his son. Let’s just say my dad was more on the pocket square side of things.

“I guess we are all banned from seeing her until the ceremony.” I growled out, still not liking it one bit.

“Your old grandad can sneak his way in there I’m sure.” He winked, looking towards Blake now as he watched him struggling with his tie.

“Here, let me help.” Grandpa offered, walking over towards him and batting his hands away.

“Thanks..I’m not used to wearing this type of stuff.” Blake g*****d, feeling out of his element. To be fair, the suit did seem extra tight on his shoulders and biceps. When did Blake get so freaking huge?

My dad walked over, handing me a scotch as he watched Blake look down at what Grandpa was doing in confusion.

“Dad, you’re staying for a while this time right?” My dad asked, his eyes hopeful as he waited for a response.

“I don’t see why not..gotta meet my great granpups as soon as they get here, don’t I?” He said with a huge a*s grin and I quickly choked on my scotch while Blake simultaneously began choking from how tight Grandpa fixed his tie.

“What..is it something I said?” He asked innocently…he knew exactly what he said.

“Sadly pops, those pups won’t be coming anytime soon..well at least on this Alpha’s end.” My dad said, narrowing his eyes at me and crossing his arms in front of his chest.

“Not on this end either.” Blake added with wide eyes and a nervous smile as he raised his hand.

I can not deal with this pressure today…seriously.

Suddenly a loud commotion sounded outside as I heard someone shouting.

“Let me through!! I need to see her! I have something very important to tell her.” The shrill voice yelled and I knew exactly who it was before Tristan linked me to confirm it…f*****g Chloe.

‘Alpha, Chloe is out here claiming she needs to speak to the future Luna..saying it is dire.’

Tristan linked with pure annoyance in his voice. He was supposed to be getting ready in here with us but decided to make a few rounds to make sure everything was running smoothly. Always in Gamma mode..that’s for sure.

‘How the hell did she make it this far? Put her in the room across the hall, let’s see what she has to say.’

I linked, not having time for this bullshit. I had a feeling she wouldn’t be able to let this go…f**k…and today of all days too..

I quickly stomped out of the room and went across the hall, my anger rising with each step as I swung the door open.

In a chair sat Chloe with her hands zip-tied behind her back. She wore a skimpy dress that barely covered her body and of course..it was white..that pissed me off even more. Everyone knows only the Luna should be wearing white on this day.

Chloe’s eyes widened as she swallowed hard, shifting in her seat uncomfortably and puffing her chest out..seriously?

“Rowan, I didn’t expect you…” She breathed, my name coming out of her mouth making me feel physically ill.

“That’s Alpha to you.” Bain growled angrily, he was already on edge from not being with Mila.

Chloe flinched, the tone of my voice causing her to shrink back as she let out a small whimper. Again…I have to ask myself…what the f**k was I thinking being with her?!

“Why the hell are you here Chloe.” I snapped, wanting to get this over with as soon as possible.

“I was invited, all pack members were.” She had the guts to roll her eyes and give me an attitude.

I quickly lunged forward, Bain taking over as my hand gripped her neck, forcing her to meet my gaze.

“I will ask you again…why the f**k are you here.” Bain gritted through clenched teeth, his grip was not even tight but enough to make his point.

Chloe began to shake, her body trembling from fear as she swallowed hard.

“I…I…just wanted to talk to the girl.” She stuttered out, my Alpha aura making her spill the truth as Tristan threw a stack of papers on the coffee table behind me.

Glancing over my shoulders, I couldn’t help the laugh that began falling from my mouth..is she f*****g serious?!! She was going to show these to Mila and try to convince her I was cheating on Mila…with herself…

I took the papers, reading through the countless forged texts and fake ultrasound pictures, which Tristan quickly found on a Google search. She didn’t even bother to change the f*****g date and time…seriously…and these texts…now I couldn’t hold it in, I began laughing..like really laughing. What the hell is wrong with this girl?!

I knew she was bitter, Ian came to me after he rejected her. He told me her plans all along and admitted they were mates. He was honest about everything and that’s partly why I made him Mila’s personal guard. He rejected his crazy a*s mate to protect my Luna..you can’t get more loyal than that. I actually feel sorry for the guy. Let’s hope he gets a second chance mate because this one was not it…

“Chloe, you can’t be serious.” I said while taking a deep breath, trying to control myself. I felt like I was losing my mind..how could people be this crazy?

“You were mine first! Before that bitch came..” she began and as soon as she called my mate the f*****g b word I snapped. My hand reached out once more, slamming her head back into the chair as I leaned down, mere inches from her face.

“I advise you to never disrespect my mate again. I will only warn you once. If you do..I won’t be able to hold Bain back…and I can tell you, Chloe..he never liked you from the beginning.” I said the words slowly. Making sure she understood each one as she nodded her head and let out a loud sob.

“I’m sorry…I won’t…I’m done I swear…I will never try to interfere again.” She was full-blown sobbing now, her makeup streaming down her face as she continued blubbering uncontrollably.

I stood back, letting go of her quickly as I let out a sigh, glancing towards Tristan.

‘What should we do with her?’

He asked in our link. Now that was the question…what should I do..she was going to try and upset Mila..she wanted to ruin this important day and make it so Mila wouldn’t trust me. That was punishable by death if you ask me…

I clenched my fists, trying not to punch her in the f*****g face. I wasn’t one to hit a girl..but for some reason, Chloe just seemed like the exception to that rule.

‘I have an idea..’

I quickly linked back.

“You know what…I think I’m not the one you should be apologizing to…in fact…I think my Luna should be the one you are groveling to.” I quickly stepped back, linking Ian to bring Mila to the room. I filled him in and he sounded hesitant. I know this would be rough on him but I wanted Mila to decide her fate.

She has messed with the wrong Alpha…and my mate will show her just that.
